I also decided that having great skin and cancer are not mutually exclusive, and dealt with chemotherapy-related issues such as hyperpigmentation head on. I also maintained glowing skin by using Bawa Medical Skincare and our multiple skin rejuvenation services such as HydraFacial, IPL, and more. I counteracted cancer-related weight gain with our weight loss program. I supplemented my diet with our line of supplements. In the end, Bawa Medical, my life’s work, ended up giving me a sense of normalcy and above all, hope.
During the dark days and nights of cancer treatment I decided that my cancer had to amount to something greater than myself. It was at this point that I became an ambassador for the American Cancer Society’s ResearcHERS initiative. Women doing cancer research are grossly underfunded compared to their male counterparts. In fact, the American Cancer Society has funded 49 male researchers who have gone on to become Nobel laureates but not a single woman has achieved that feat. That ends right here right now. Please join me in supporting female led cancer research not just for my cancer but for all cancer by donating to the American Cancer Society.
I am now uniquely positioned to not only provide a cancer patient the various services they need, I understand the sorrow and despair they feel. I have walked in their shoes. I am here to support and to inspire. I am here to fight the good fight. I am here to raise funds for cancer research. We are in this together. If you are a cancer patient or someone you love is, please call us sooner rather than later. It is never too early to fight the effects of cancer and to minimize the toll on your mind, body and soul. And always remember to let your faith be bigger than your fear.
